I want to buy halo 2, and I want to play online, but I dont have 5$ per month to pay for live. How much does it cost total, supposing I have the game, and want to play online? Why can't it be free, like halo 1 :(

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Yes of course it costs money. You don't have five-bucks a month? Come on man and don't blame the economy.

Welcome to the real world man, everything costs money here. It's $12.50 for a month, not $5. They do give you free maps though.

Correction: Per month the cost of live is $7.99 (not $12.50).

I was in your young shoes once and I wish I could be there again. One of the things you can never get back is your youth, enjoy it while you can. The irony is, once you get a job you'll be too tired to play much.

Why don't you all, get a 360, and just pay 50$ a year instead of a total of 5$ x 12 months = 60$ see overall you save 10 dollars. Ok, I was just kidding. I understand that it aint that easy to magically acumulate money.

It is not $12.50 per month. XBL costs $50 per year, that is $4.16, not to mention that if you look hard enough you can get 12 months plus 1 month free. Making it $3.85.

Warren, its not $5 a month, its $7.99. So yea, buying a year is better than each month.

Yeah, I corrected myself in a later post. It is definitely $7.99 for one month.

yea if you plan on playing for a year, you should buy the 12 month package, cuz buying 1 month at a time will cost you more money in the long run......after this month ends, ima juss buy the 12 month.

It's 7.50 a month. There is no real way around it.

Heh, this one keeps going and going. I just looked it up again, MS charged me $7.99 for one month. Why am I paying $.49 more than you?

Halo 1 didn't have Live.

You could just pay $50 and have XBL for a whole year.

Grumpy you mean MS charged you $7.99 for one month right? cuz 49 cents added on to $7.50 would be $7.99.
